Prometheus
Concept of Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I do not deny my blame
In my place would you do the same?
I don't think so because
I did it following my heart
Sometimes denying my mind
That's why I do not regret
And don't want forgiveness
Give me the suffering of another day
The sun will hurt my eyes again
Pitiful beast, feast on my liver
And comfort my soul with pain
Joy, Hephaestus I see in your lips
While you reinforce the links
Intending to keep me here
Chained paying for my sins
But I do not feel that way
These consequences I take
Know it I do not shame this
And I would do it again
Give me the suffering of another day
The sun will hurt my eyes again
Pitiful beast, feast on my liver
And comfort my soul with pain
HEPHAESTUS We are comrades-we share strong common bonds
POWER That may be true, but can you disobey your father's words?
Do you not fear him more?
HEPHAESTUS
You always lack a sense of pity and are so full of cruel self-confidence (Prometheus Bound)
Give me the suffering of another day
The sun will hurt my eyes again
Pitiful beast, feast on my liver
And comfort my soul with pain
The lyrics of Concept of Hate's song "Prometheus" explore the concept of personal responsibility and the defiance of societal norms. The singer acknowledges their own guilt, as indicated by the chains on their wrists that define their fate. However, they refuse to deny their actions, suggesting that others would not have acted differently if placed in their position. The singer follows their heart, sometimes ignoring their rational mind. Despite the consequences and lack of regret, they do not seek forgiveness from others.
The chorus delves further into the theme of suffering and pain. The singer yearns for the suffering of another day, as the sun's rays will hurt their eyes again. They refer to themselves as a pitiful beast and ask for it to feast on their liver, metaphorically representing internal torment, and bring comfort to their soul through pain.
The mention of Joy and Hephaestus, Greek mythological figures, suggests a conversation or internal dialogue. Hephaestus seems to be reinforcing the chains and keeping the singer in their current state, paying for their sins. However, the singer does not feel the weight of shame or regret, as they willingly accept the consequences and state that they would do it all again.
Overall, "Prometheus" speaks to the defiance of societal expectations, taking responsibility for one's actions, and finding solace in self-inflicted pain.
